StarCraft 2: LotV Brutal Mastery 7 - Anvil of Will (Mission: Last Stand)

Shakuras Mission 2: Last Stand

Objective: Hold out your defenses until 2.2 billion zerg are on Shakuras. There is no need to click "Overcharge temple" as the mission will end in success even when it is "destroyed" past the objective mark.

Strategy: This is the breaking point of my whole crusade. Win this, and the dream of finishing this whole thing becomes a reality, or fail and go home! So let's get down to business!

The Zenith Stones are best taken out at the start of the mission. Go for the bottom left one right off the bat, using Nerazim dark templars to quickly clear out the zerg. Go for the others right after clearing out an attack wave at their respective lanes. Use the Solar Lance to easily clear the one guarded by mutalisks and guardians.

The key to holding out as long as possible is to be diligent about covering the entire land mass with structures. Practically required is the nexus overcharge upgrade. You want your front gates guarded by, yes indeed, nexuses. They're tough, extremely durable, and will automatically be healed by shield batteries since they're a "defensive structure".

Build a robotics facility on each side of your base and keep building immortals. There will definitely be no time to micro them, so pick the improved barrier version.They are amazingly durable and will save your buildings from overwhelming banelings. The more banelings you can catch with solar lance, the better off you'll be. Use blink stalkers and micro them against aerial assaults. Always try to keep losses to a minimum and never stop building!
Once you're past the 1.8 billion mark, all hell breaks loose and the only thing left to do is to place your faith in your base until it all falls apart. Best of luck to you, for this will push your abilities to their limits!
